✅ The Flow Library has been restored ⚠️ Automatic indexing of new nodes is _disabled_ - If you have a **new node** to add to the library, post in #development:creating-nodes. @knolleary can then manually add them. - for **updates of existing nodes** , use the 'request refresh' link on the node's page to get it updated ---

The root cause is the npm search registry; it currently only lists 58 modules as having the `node-red` keyword - instead of the 1500+ that were there yesterday. I assume this is part of their work to resolve the previous issues with the search index being out of sync ([https://npm.community/t/npm-search-api-returns-incorrect-version-date-fields/484](https://npm.community/t/npm-search-api-returns-incorrect-version-date-fields/484)) - so hopefully given enough time it'll reindex all modules. ---
